I hope you dont mind if I put my two cents here. I thought he was one of the best Sox centerfielders to play in my lifetime when he came here and even started a poll here and didnt get any disagreements. The thing that frustrates me is that he is so damn talented and could in my eyes be a premier player. Its been a very long time since the Sox have had a 5 tool outfielder. I'm drawing a blank when the last one was. Bo Jackson was but not with the Sox.

And that is exactly why I think we should just let him go. I think most are scared he's going to excel with the Rangers maybe, he has a better line up around him. But since he's been here, he plays when he wants to. I think the league is aware of that to. I agree with the last few posters, if you can wrangle a midlevel prospect fine, if not see ya. Then you can use that money to nab Granderson while he'll be on the cheap or some other lead off type hitter.
